Terry's Poetry Tryings. Changes. + Small Contest! 50% SBD from This Post for 1 Winner!

in #poetry7 years ago





The riot of colors rises again

In the fresh air felt changes...

Fate of this time is endless rain,

But now it's just regular pages.



Do you remember, a long time ago?

Happiness, laughter, and joy!

Time flew so fast, but it was slow...

Where is your favorite toy?



All have turned into everyday life...

Magic is thing of the past.

Is this your happiness? Please, verify!

Any day can be the last...



So, maybe you'll get rid of stereotypes?

Take walk on the fall foliage!

Find out how close can be paradise...

Just need to "reduce the voltage"!






Well, I greet you, my friends!


Yes, I know that a poet from me is so-so :) But! Despite this fact and my "sad" knowledge of English, I will take the liberty of holding the small contest and be a judge.


The conditions are simple - Replace my last quatrain(the last four lines of the poem), with your quatrain. Deadline - three days from the date of publication!


Prize - 50% SBD earned by this post. Payment to the winner in a week (after post payout).


Good luck to everyone, ladies and gentlemen!



Sincerely, Terry Craft.

Amazing Poem Terry thnx for sharing
heres a Joke
Question: What did the poet say to Luke Skywalker?
Answer: “Metaphors be with you.”

I haven't written poetry in a while. I should start again.

Actually, it's my wife's birthday in two months today. Much of my poetry has been for her, so I think I'll do something for her special day. It ends in a zero, so it's a big one.

Nice job, by the way. :)

I upvote all comments and replies on all of my posts to help my fellow Steemians earn Steemit rewards and gain more voting power. Consider doing the same.

Very thoughtful

thank you.

I always like helping out my fellow Steemians and I'll be watching your future posts. :)

thanks a zillion...really grateful

Hello @terrycraft, great poetry and maybe i would be able to compose beautiful short poetry like you in the future :)

Below is little bania entry..........

Just need to think about my life

Find out if i'm getting old or young

Fill my life with my own choices

So i could lay hold of my imaginations

Hope you like it @terrycraft:

I'm fascinated with your scent
However I know it is just a poison that spreads in my veins
I'm not only afraid of staring you from a distance
But I don't dare to move a step

Hmm Im not really good in poetry but I UPVOTED you.

I do look forward for your next post!
Thanks for sharing.

Your new friend here ;-)
@hallie25

Hi Terry! I love your poem and your English is very good! Nice to see you post have a lovely weekend!🌺🌺

Hi.

I hope you're in the game! :)

I do write poetry so I'll try!! 😊

Nice post @terrycraft. Thanks for ur sharing.

The poetry is so beautiful, with the intake of words that mean very deep, full of "satir" style where, when, why?
And I was stunned in the stanza of your three poems, beautiful ...
By the way, I really appreciate your literary work, and hope they also like it.

Hi
nice your sharing

This is my quatrain :D

''But in this moment, everything is paradise
The air makes me feel like i am gonna rise,
Where?....is the question,
This will become my obssesion!''

Thank you!

It only means that life is too short. Therefore enjoy every single moment of your life.

You have wonderful poems!

I also tried to finish:

But no one dies in the fall
when nature itself lives
So enjoy the exuberant colors
and do not think about winter

Nice post . autumn gallery photography

If only i was the "Lord of the Time"

I would pause the good and joyous moments

But men we are, we live on till we die

" Tick Tock", the clock of death

If only i was the "Lord of the Time"

I would pause the good and joyous moments

But men we are, we live on till we die

" Tick Tock", the clock of death

Daily Learn some new from your post. Love to read it.

@terrycraft This is really so cool. I'm being tempted to give it a trial. Thank you for this opportunity.

Great work with your poem!
Here is my quatrain:

As each leaf falls to the earth,
Disintegrates, then dies,
I come to understand my birth
And look toward renewed life.

This is the time to rejoice in life
Take everything in stride and forget the past
Live in each moment and you will not regret
The love that is there to make you forget the sadness

Time to think about the most important,
Every second making sense.
Anything in the world isn't constant,
But happiness is to be in lovely hands.

The journey you take away from birth,

The high road taken or the low,

That toy you played with in the dirt?

Was that a hundred years ago?



This is my quatrain entry for your poem. It sort of ties the rest together with it.
thanks for the contest.
@Lymmerik

My poem entry #1

**This poem is just a steppingstone,
That's what it was always suppose to be,
Don't waste your time anymore,
Just give the SBD to me !!! **

Haha .
BTW, can there be more than one entry ? I might give another entry :D

Hello @terrycraft
This is my quatrain


But magic rays I long to gaze on

Through life and maze's superhighways

With these hues of blazing foliage

I go the way of beauty's plumage


@edith4angelseu

I guess I can give it a shot and throw my hat in the ring, too! :)

So grab your life by the reins,

And forget about all your past worries!
For this life is meant to be lived in the moment,
And we're supposed to go through it with relative ease.

My words and deeds speaks no lust,
It is only love that I trust,
The fallen leaves bears no grief,
For yesteryear's was far too brief.

Thank you sir. I enjoyed myself.

Very cool, thought that I would give this a go.

The leaves always renew yearly

Soon time to spend snuggling inside

Your heart can be fond of so dearly

A fall romance to feel alive

Hey Terry! Beautiful concept/post. I'm a new poet to steemit :) and this contest is a great way to meet some of the community. Thank you for it. My submission-

Remember to allow love to pass
Through our eyes, and heart again at last.
And then, our eternal shadow cast,
can transmute to lighting the way alas.

Followed, and if you'd like to get to know me as well I just posted my introduction, short sweet and finished with a poem on top! Hope to hear from you soon.

I might be too late, but here's my attempt

"are you life? are you death?
Are you dreams turned to stone?

Are you a bird flying free
or a lost sailor trying to get home."
